Xie Jinqiu was very perceptive and soon noticed something was wrong with Ning Chuchu’s unusual words and deeds.
His fiancée didn’t seem to value this relationship as much as before.
Xie Jinqiu felt mixed emotions, as if his heart was being kneaded harshly by a big hand, giving him a sour feeling that was unfamiliar and frightening.
He had always been a taciturn and reserved person and had never thought of speaking out his secret thoughts.
He always felt that he and Ning Chuchu were engaged, and there was always a long time to come, so they could spend the rest of their lives slowly cultivating their feelings.
Until now, Xie Jinqiu suddenly realized that once this marriage relationship was gone, they would not have the so-called long time to come.
And he could not force that willful and casual person to stay.
“Hello, Mr. Xie?”
Xie Jinqiu was silent for too long, so long that Ning Chuchu asked again in confusion.
Xie Jinqiu closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were clear.
He calmed down and said word by word: “I think it’s great.”
Our engagement is great.
This time, it was Ning Chuchu’s turn to be silent.
Xie Jinqiu’s unexpectedly frank answer caught Ning Chuchu off guard. She rubbed her eyebrows in distress and didn’t know what to say for a while.
She thought that for someone as cold as Xie Jinqiu, his answer would also be lukewarm and distant. In this way, Ning Chuchu might be able to make up her mind to rethink their relationship.
But Xie Jinqiu actually said ‘great’, implying that he was very satisfied with her fiancée, right?
If it were before, Ning Chuchu would probably have been happy and proud. But now…
She sighed silently and decided to calm down for a while, at least not to make a rash decision before thinking it through.
So, Ning Chuchu smiled and said, “Okay, I got it.”
“Mr. Xie, please help me make connections. I will also promote Xie’s new beauty products as soon as possible.”
Ning Chuchu’s official tone made Xie Jinqiu frown tightly. He moved his thin lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he just said ‘Um’ softly.
Xie Jinqiu stared at the gradually darkening phone screen with an unfathomable look in his eyes. He did not move for a long time.
Seeing that the matter had been said, an unspeakable silence fell between the two people.
Ning Chuchu was about to hang up the phone, but suddenly, she had an idea and asked, “Do you have anything you want to ask me?”
Xie Jinqiu was silent for a moment, with a hint of doubt in his voice, “Should I ask anything?”
Ning Chuchu: “…”
She tried to hold back, but she still couldn’t hold back her curiosity and asked tentatively, “You should have seen the scandal between me and Pei Wang, right? Don’t you have anything to say?”
Xie Jinqiu tapped the table with his slender fingers twice and said carefully, “You have already clarified it.”
Meaning, he didn’t take this groundless scandal to heart at all.
Ning Chuchu didn’t know whether he was pretending to be generous or really didn’t care, so she responded half-heartedly.
She said, “Pei Wang and I have known each other for only a short time. We only met because we were going to work together on a movie. Don’t take those things on the Internet to heart.”
In any case, she and Xie Jinqiu are still an engaged couple. Her scandal was all over the internet. Even though both of them knew that it was fake, Ning Chuchu should explain it to him in person out of both emotion and reason.
Xie Jinqiu’s eyes softened suddenly, “I know.”
Ning Chuchu also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that a big stone in her heart had been lifted.
Since everything had been dealt with, she simply hung up the phone.
After the call ended, Xie Jinqiu looked at the slowly darkening phone screen for a long time without moving.
Ning Chuchu sighed quietly.
Unexpectedly, what she once thought was a perfect marriage has now become a bondage.
But her engagement with Xie Jinqiu was too important. It was related to her biological mother Tan Qingzhu and the entire Xie family, and she also had to consider the covetous Ning Guangzhong. Therefore, she could not act rashly before she was really sure of her thoughts.
